“The ability to destroy your ideas rapidly instead of slowly whenthe occasion is right is one of the most valuable things.You have to work hard on it.Ask yourself what are the arguments on the other side.It’s bad to have an opinion you’re proud of if you can’t state thearguments for the other side better than your opponents.This is a great mental discipline.”— Charlie Munger

“You’re not entitled to take a view, unless and until you can argue better against that view than the smartest guy who holds that opposite view. If you can argue better than the smartest person who holds the opposite view, that is when you are entitled to hold a certain view.” — Charlie Munger
